What ad is this clip from?
>>3014228
Also, what is this from?
>>3014228
It's from the Johnny Turbo comic strips, a last ditch attempt to make the TurboGrafx-16 relevant in the US.Of all the games they wanted to promote for the TG16, did kids really gave a shit about fucking Sherlock Holmes of all things.
>>3014231
I think that's for Enemy Zero.

Anyone remember the ad on the back of the Tips & Tricks issue that said, "To Hell with You!"
It stirred up lots of controversy back in the day. I think the game was either Doom or Hexen.

There were a lot of ads back in the day that game companies wouldn't be able to get away without a bunch of hambeasts yelling "sexist" and "objectification".

Your characterization of vidya adverts today is... off. How many print ads could there be, anyway?
>>3030347
Show me a modern ad that does what you described. I can't even think of a modern printed ad for a video game and tv commercials are mostly gameplay clips set to music with a release date at the end. So if anything, ads have gotten better over the years because they don't show nearly as much random bullshit that has no relation to the game. The only real annoyance with modern ads is the Only on XBOX One* (*also on PS4, PC, Wii U, PS3, 360, Atari Jaguar and Intellivision) bullshit that companies use to trick idiots into thinking multiplatform games are exclusive titles.
Uhhh...

You don't think products aimed at women are plastered with sexy hunks?
>>3031519
they usually aren't. theyre usually plastered with idealistic-looking women if anything
>>3031504
Ads for games are the least of Gamergate's worries unless it's showing only cut scenes and no gameplay.
See: Every Harry Potter vidya ever. Here in the UK, game ads that don't show footage are forced to show a disclaimer. What disclaimer do you dirty yanks get?
"Do not attempt"
>>3031520
I'm certain I've seen at least one with a sexy hunk!

It's not great, but it's not terrible... you know, for Game Boy. It had a 2-player feature for Super Game Boy, which is a nice feature, but of course Killer Instinct SNES also existed so why bother?

did Atari paid Nintendo and Sega in order to use their mascots and shit on them on the ad?
>>3030156
Nothing wrong with sweetening the deal. Don't forget to grab your gear.
>>3033176
Because it's portable.
>>3017297
one of my favorite ads.. I remember "totally weird war" like it was yesterday, along with that fish, I just dig the aesthetics of that screenshot so much.
>>3035773
It's not portable when you're playing it on a Super Game Boy.
>>3013610
Is that the chick from plumbers don't wear ties?
Holy shit
>>3036251
Yeah, but can you take SNES killer instinct with you in your pocket after you're done playing at home? Nope.

Interestingly the Battlecruiser one later got a "censored" version which gave the woman panties and removed the "she really wants it".
The funniest part is that the "censored" version is actually the original unedited picture of the lady; if you notice on the one here, you'll see that, while they airbrushed out the right side, they still left some parts of the panties visible. Fucking quality.

...also, nice reference to Def Leppard.
>>3036553
You're really working hard at missing the point, aren't you? Local multiplayer on a SUPER GAME BOY is moot when a vastly more playable version of the game exists on the SUPER NINTENDO.
>>3036553
Gameboy too big for tiny pocket. Snes cart just right.

It's for a game store, so there is no joke. Notice the GIANT computer game boxes.
Ah, what would I do to go back to those days, when the PlayStation wasn't quite the siphon of games it is now. Seriously, there is no other option seeing as how the PS4 gets everything, that's like cheating.

This shitty kind of advertising turned me off of Zelda for the longest time. Little did I know that the characters never speak like this in game and it has absolutely nothing to do with wrpgs. Never played Zelda until I got a GameCube with the pack in disc.

Why do so many 80s and 90s ads read like shitposts? Its hilarious.
>>3038567
Did Anybody EVER won one of these?
>>3059727
Remember folks: the next time you accuse a shitposter of being a kid, keep in mind that 80s and 90s kids were raised on ads like these.

Same here. Lightweight, thin armor is also much more "believable" in a scifi setting. It would be a logical progression of military technology is to make hardware progressively lighter in weight. Bulky shoulders also reduce Samus' view of her surroundings. The heavy armor design is retarded.
Does anyone have that Banjo Kazooie advertisement that shows Kazooie's footprints in dirt with caption 'Look, bear tracks!' underneath?
I always thought that one was clever
